When Tom Holland opened up about gymnastics helping him perform stunts in Spider-Man: Homecoming

Tom Holland often prefers to perform his own stunts and has often attributed this to his training as a kid. He was enrolled in a dance class at the age of 9 and also trained in acrobatics. He was part of Billy Elliot the Musical, where he also learned gymnastics.
During a press conference during the media tour for his first Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming, in 2017, Holland was asked about performing his stunts. He answered (h/t UPI):
"My dancing and gymnastics background was so helpful to this project because we were able to do things as Peter Parker that they probably hadn't been able to do in the past. But, that said, sometimes they would, like, overestimate my skill set. [Director] Jon [Watts] would be like, 'Can you just backflip off that wall and land on that beam?' I'm like: 'No, Jon. I'm not that good, dude.'"
In an interview with Generation Iron, published on January 14, 2025, Holland spoke about his workout routine and highlighted the importance of diet. He said:
“For me to see results, it is 80% diet and 20% fitness. I try to be strict and healthy. I travel a lot, so I find it really difficult to get into a routine of cooking for myself, but yes, so dieting, I wouldn’t call it dieting, but eating healthy is a big part of me staying in shape.”
The actor revealed that aside from his normal workout routine, he also enjoys taking part in a variety of sports like football and basketball.
